Prohlbltlonists.

Already the Hamilton organs are
beginning to find fault with Judge
Peyton's decision, alleging that the
Judge is a Prohibitionist.
We do not know what sentiment
Judge Peyton holds in regard to
Prohibition, but are satisfied he was
not influenced a particle by any
thing but the testimony and the law
10 the case.
But if it be possible that Judge
Peyton has q leaning toward Pro-
hibitionists, and is inclined TO favor
them or be lenient to them, it should
not be forgotten that Col. Jones S.
Hamilton is now a Prohibitionist
That able LAWYER and distinguished
champion of Prohibition, Col. w. L.
Nugent, in his speech for the defen Sc
last week declared that Hamilton
had been CONVEX ted TO the Prohibi.
ton cause.
No, Prohibition had nothing to dc
with Gambrell's murder, and has
nothing to do with Furnishing the
criminals. The everlasting senti
ment in opposition to assassination
and foul play, is responsible for tho
feeling OF the people in the Hamil-
ton Gambrell case. - Ficks6urs

A Brilliant Effort.

AS was naturally expected, the
arguments delivered in the Hamil-
ton -Gambrell case were wholly in
keeping with the reputation Of the
attorneys and with the renown the
trial had created. But one of the
speakers had not the reputation Of
his compeers and did not possess
that fame which generally gives its
owner the ready ear Of the auditors
and stamps his speech las a great
effort" But those who heard
John II. Martin unhesilatinyly
pronounce his speech TO have
been worthy of his learned associ-
ates, and that it would suffer nothing
from a comparison with the speech
of Judge Harris whom be immediate
" followed. 1t may not have abound
ed in as many profound philosophi-
cal propositions, but the digest of
the testimony could not have been
eNcelled. The charge made by
Judge Harris, that Hamilton was n
pcaceable man with 3 heart full Of
Kindness and love for true manhood
and that Roderick Gambrell was q
knight of the revolver, who, in the Ian
guage Of Oliver Clifton, was going
about seeking difficulty, was refut
ed in most mastery manner and
with telling effect. Not alone on
this, but also on other propositions,
did he meet the Judge and answer
him in a style which drew forth
the praises of many auditors and
none were more complimentary than
Chief Justice Cooper and Senator
George, whose judgments on such
matters certainly are Of no small
value.

Trouble Ahead.

When the appetite fails, aud sleep
grows restless and undressing, there is
trouble ahead. The digestive organs,
when healthy, crave food, the nervous
system, when vigorous and tranquil,
gives its possessor no uneasiness at night
A tonic. to be effective, should not be a
mere appetizer, nor are the nerves to be
strengthened and soOthed by the unalded
action of sedative or narcotic. What
is required is u medicine which invigor-
ates the stomach, and promotes asslmsla
ton of food by the system, by which
means the nervous system, as well as
other parts of the physical organism, are
strengthe ned. These are the effects OF
Hostetters Stomach Btters, medicine
whose reputation is formed firmly in
public confidence, and which physicians
commed for its tonic, anti-bilious and
other properties. 1t is used with the
best results in fever aud ague, rhema-
tism, kidney and uterine weakness, and
other maladies.

A Good Man for Repr esentative.
Editor Brookha ven Leader:

Editor Brookha ven Leader:
While the subject Of the selection of
suitable candidates 10 represent Lincoln
county in the Legislature is being consid-
ere by the people and the press, your
correspondent wishes to make "a sugges-
tion. There is no man IN the county who
would make better Representative
than A. Leweuthal, Jr. Mr Lewenthal is
young man of undoubted integrity :
he is man of decided abilities and
possesses superior culture and intelli-
gcnce.
Let Mr.. Lewelthal become candidate
for Representative, either from Lincoln
alone or from the Floatorial District, and
he will deserve and will receive Il hearty
and winning support. The average
voter prefers 4 representative who has
an individuality and who possesses
modest worth. MIR. Lewenthal comes up
to the standard.

Declaration Of Purposes Of the
Farmers Alliance.

Profoundly impressed that we,
the farmers of America, who are
united by the strong and faithful
ties Of financial and home interests,
should, when organized into an
association, set forth our declaration
of intentions, We therefore re-
solve:
l. To labor for the education OF
the agricultural classes in the sciene
of economic government in = strict
non partisan spirit, and to bring
about u more perfect union OF said
classes.
9. That we demand equal rights
to all and special favor OF none.
3. That we return to the old prin-
ciplc OF letting the office seek the
man, instead OF the man seeking
the office.
4. To endorse the motto. "In
things essential unity, and in all
things charity.
5. To develop a better state
mentally, morally, socially and
financially.
6. To create better understand
ing for sustaining our civil officers
in maintaining law and order.
Z. To constantly strive To secure
entire harmony and good will To all
mankind, and brotherly love among
ourselves.
5. To suppress personal, local,
sectional and national prejudices,
all unhealthful rivalry and all self
ish ambition.
8. The brightest jewels which it
gamers are the tears of wi dows and
orphans, and its imperative COM
rnands are to visit The homes where
lacerated hearts are bleeding; to as
suage the suffering OF brother or
sister; bury the dead; care for the
widows and educate the orphans !;
to exercise charity towards often
dcrs; to constIue words and deeds
in their most favorable lights; grant
ing honesty Of purpose and good
intentions TO others, and to protect
the principles of the National Far
mcrs' Alliance and Cooperative
Union until death. lis laws are
reas on and equity, its cardinal doe
trines inspire purity Of thought and
life, its intention is, Peace ON
earth and good will to man."

Action OF the Democratic Execu'
tive Committee.

As will be seen by the proceed
logs elsewhere, the County Demo
cratic Executive Committee decided
al its meeting last Saturday 10 bold
o Coaventioo and rominste candi
dates foe all offices from State Scns-
tor To- Constable iDclasive, and fixed
the date H the precinct meetings for
Monday, August 18th, and the
County Conventioa for Saturday,
August goth. The committee, which
is composed OF truly representative
men Of the party, and whose first
object is to best subserve the party's
interests, were practically unani-
nous in their views on the suject of
nominations. An address will be
issued at an early day, setting forth
the reasons for the Committees
action in the premises, and urging
harmony and united action Oh the
the part Of all true Democrats.
Meantime, We hone all loyal party
men, whatever may have been their
personal views on the subject, will
checrfully acquiesce in the commit
tees decision, and prepare for
long pull, strong pull and pull
all together when the ticket is pla-
,ed in the field.
We believe the action Of the COM
mittee wise one, and that its WIS
dom will be verified by the cnn.
plele reunion of the party and a
grand party victory. While individ.
ual interests were regarded Of secon-
Diary consideration as compared TO
the welfare Of the party, ample time
has been given cand. dates to pre-
sent their claims TO the people, and
all who desire TO run for office as
Democrats should make their can
didaey known as early as possible,
50 that the people may have fair
chance To canvass their merits be-
fore the primary meetings, for after
the Convention, all competition
between Democrats ends.

Give Them 4 Chance.

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery Very won
derfnl machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages, but the thousands of
little tubes and cavities leading from
them.
When these are clogged and chok-
ell with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they cannot
do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumon-
ia, catarrb, consumption or any of the
family of throat ana nose and head and
lung Instructions, all are bad. All
ought to DO got rid of. There is just
one sure way to get rid of them. That is
to take Boschee's German Syrup, which
any druggist will sell you at rs cents a
bottle. Even if everything else failed
you, you may depend upon this for Ger
tam.
The Brookhaven leader., 1887-06-23

We inadvertently omitted the
name of Judge Hiram CASSIDY, of this
place, last week in mentioning the
attorneys who made speeches in the
Hamilton Gambrcll case. Judge
Cassidy spoke for the defense, and
Senator George and other competent
critics pronounced his speech one
Of the finest efforts ever delivered
1T the bar. In fact, as District
Attorney Miller said, OF Judge Har-
iis' speech, it was just az good as
the poverty Of facts on that sid.
would possibly admit.
